What to do with mild food poisoning, several detoxification methods

There are many causes of food poisoning, the most common ones are bacteria and viruses, pesticides and fertilizers, and poisoning caused by the food itself. Food poisoning often comes on with great force, so everyone should understand the relevant first aid measures. Let’s take a look at several detoxification methods below.

1. Absorb poisons: When food poisoning causes abdominal distension and diarrhea, you can eat burnt steamed buns. When observed under a microscope, the burnt ends of the buns look like a sponge that absorbs water, with many pores on it. These small pores can absorb water, odors, and can also absorb bacteria and toxins. So the burnt ends of the steamed buns enter the intestines and act like a vacuum cleaner, absorbing excess gas, moisture, bacteria and toxins in the intestines, cleaning the intestines and alleviating the symptoms of poisoning.

2. Protect gastric mucosa: Neutralize poisons: In order to reduce the irritation of poisons on gastric mucosa, you can take egg white and milk orally; if it is an alkaline poison, you can take acidic solutions such as vinegar and orange juice orally to neutralize the poison; if you accidentally ingest metal or plant alkaline poisons and have not yet been absorbed, you can immediately take strong tea. The tannic acid in the strong tea can combine with metals or biological bacteria to precipitate, which can delay or reduce the absorption of poisons. If the food poisoning and diarrhea of ​​the baby is caused by acid- and gas-producing bacteria, the carrots can be boiled, sieved, and fiber removed, and made into a paste for consumption.

3. Expel poison: If you know you have eaten poisonous food and before severe and frequent vomiting or diarrhea occurs, you can use 2%-4% salt water to induce vomiting or 1%-2% light salt water to wash your stomach to relieve the symptoms of poisoning. Using a tablespoon of salt, frying it and then decocting it into a soup and drinking it also has a catalytic effect. If puffer fish is poisoned, using an appropriate amount of sesame seeds to catalyze the poisoning and then feeding it with alum water can alleviate the symptoms of poisoning.

4. Special detoxifying herbs: In addition to the mung beans, vinegar, onions, garlic and other foods with detoxifying and bactericidal effects introduced at the beginning of this article, "Compendium of Materia Medica" states: "Olives are the fruit of the lungs and stomach, they can clear the throat and promote salivation, relieve restlessness and sober up, and detoxify puffer fish poison." According to clinical Chinese medicine, chewing olives after drinking alcohol can detoxify. If you accidentally ingest puffer fish poison, drinking the juice boiled with olives can detoxify it; black plums contain malic acid, citric acid, succinic acid, etc., which have significant antibacterial effects. Eating raw eggplants can detoxify food poisoning caused by bacteria and histamine.
